That’s right…it is what you are thinking! This knitter is having a kid next year. Boy #3 to be more precise! The big brothers are very excited and of course, I can’t wait to design a namesake piece for him. But for now I’ll content myself with working up a Gramps for next winter.
The new baby is due early next May, and his name is Oliver Henry.
I’ve been working hard on my book over here…actually there is a sneak peek in the above picture! Something still in progress of course. In addition, I made the boys some Christmas sweaters. I’ve been talking about them in my Ravelry group for quite some time AND, I did a guest blog post on Craftsy.com last week that talks all about adding colorwork to your knitting. If this is a topic you’re interested, I’ll invite you to go and check out that post.
Bye for now– And hope your holiday season is off to a great start. I’ll leave you with the boys out enjoying their sweaters while we shopped for our tree…and it was close to 70 degrees…. Sigh, South Carolina!






Congratulations, Kate! So that must’ve been kind of hard for you not to spill the beans when I said I was going to get to wear my shirt (like the one above)! First thing I wondered then, was were you brand -new pregnant at Stitches MW, or not quite yet, and I think you must’ve been if my math is right! I can’t believe how much you’re showing already – I’m 2 months behind you and not showing at all yet, but can’t wait to!
And I love the name Oliver – nice choice.

Kate, I just don’t know how you do all you do!!! And you are pregnant on top of all of it! I am due with #3 in June and still pretty wiped out! Hopefully good things will come with the 2nd trimester! Congrats on your exciting news! You are one busy mama and an inspiration!
Cute little boys with awesome Christmas sweaters! And of course, congratulations for baby boy #3!!!
I LOVE the name, Kate. I especially love Henry-That is Josiah’s middle name. I guess we like the same names:) Again, congratulations. I am so happy for you guys.
Congratulations, Kate!
congratulations Kate.. still love knitting your patterns
Congratulations! You look great. I’m due in late February, and everyone loves the tot toppers maternity shirt I got at Stitches Midwest. I can’t wait to put him in a little gramps cardigan and toasty waffle hat!
Congratulations !! And those sweaters are the most adorable thing I’ve seen in a long time ! I’d love to try colorwork, but my head spins when I think of weaving in the ends
.
WOW! 3 boys so perfect!! Wishing you happiness and health in the coming months!!
ps….Im due in late may ’12 with number 4!! Exciting times!
Congrats! Three boys is tons of fun. I had mine all in just under three years, now 14 mos, 3 and 4 so you can imagine the madness here! It is definitley great with the boys though so look forward to seeing more boy sweater designs.
A big congrats to you and your family! How exciting! And the boys sweaters are perfect.
Take care and enjoy the holidays,
Betsy
Kate! You’re pregnant! Congrats!!!
The boys look great and you do too. Great sweaters! Can’t wait to see you in a few weeks!
Congrats!!! I have 2 boys and have a feeling our next will be a boy too (not pregnant yet!). I love those Christmas sweaters!!! I was looking for a great toddler xmas sweater on Ravelry this year and didn’t have much success. Just finished Roar hat and mittens set…so much fun to knit and my almost 3 year old loves them. Thanks for all your great boy knit patterns!
Can’t wait for the book.
